New Delhi: After the Agusta Westland VVIP chopper deal was cancelled in the backdrop of corruption allegations, Defence Minister AK Antony today asserted that IAF will get new VIP choppers soon.
He also expressed his concern on naval accidents. “Naval accidents are a matter of concern and Indian Navy is more concerned about it than anybody else, Antony said. He gave this statement during his visit to Defence Expo in New Delhi.
Antony’s remarks came after the Congress once again faced embarrassment due to the chopper deal with an Italian firm. CNN-IBN had accessed a copy of a letter by key middleman Christian Michel which was produced in an Italian Court.
However, sources in the PMO had said that the deal was cancelled. They even assured that action would be taken against those indulging in such slanderous activities.
